The majority of the bacterial genome sequences deposited in the National Center for
Biotechnology Information database contain prophage sequences. Analysis of the prophages …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast responsible for more than
600,000 deaths each year. It occurs as two serotypes (A and D) representing two varieties (…

The eukaryotic defense response posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is directed by
short-interfering RNAs and thwarts invading nucleic acids via the RNA slicing activity of …

G9a/GLP and Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) are two major epigenetic silencing
machineries, which in particular methylate histone H3 on lysines 9 and 27 (H3K9 and H3K27)…

State of the art techniques have been developed to isolate and analyze cells from various
tissues, aiming to capture their in vivo state. However, the majority of cell isolation protocols …

Cytochromes P450 monooxygenases from the CYP98 family catalyze the meta-hydroxylation
step in the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway. The ref8 Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis …

Bacteria of the Thiomonas genus are ubiquitous in extreme environments, such as arsenic-rich
acid mine drainage (AMD). The genome of one of these strains, Thiomonas sp. 3As, was …

Pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells maintain their identity throughout virtually infinite
cell divisions. This phenomenon, referred to as self-renewal, depends on a network of …

ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated) is an essential checkpoint kinase that signals DNA
double-strand breaks in eukaryotes. Its depletion causes meiotic and somatic defects in …

The complete genome sequences of two dairy phages, Streptococcus thermophilus phage
7201 and Lactobacillus casei phage A2, are reported. Comparative genomics reveals that …
